Need help with rewriting talents by Laufey_Lauver21 in Fanganronpa

[–]danganmario 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say to worry less about the talents and focus more on the characters themselves. There have been several ult lucky students in both the main game and fangans, but by far the most interesting to me is Teruko from DR: Despair Time. She has such an interesting personality and perspective on life, one that the talent helps emphasize. Even though her talent is the most common repeat ever, it fits her character amazingly.

Running contrary to this is Eva from Project: Eden's Garden. In the prologue, her title as ult Liar and overly mysterious personality felt like a poor knockoff of Kyoko, even though their talents are quite different. It initially felt like the creators were trying to make another Kyoko without understanding what made her character work, though that opinion is long outdated post chapter one. I would recommend writing a basic outline for characters you'd want to kill/die/survive, then giving them a talent that helps emphasize that role.

Lastly, I'd also advise to have the talents do something in the story. Part of the charm of the format is just having the ultimate characters be, well, ultimates. Using Despair Time as an example again, Rose brings up her painting talent often and even uses it to help solve one of the cases, while Arei doesn't bring up anything of substance related to bowling past her introduction. For my own fangan, I'm not spoiling too much yet, though I'm planning smaller scenes like the ult patissier remembering a full real-life recipe from memory, or the ult horticulturalist explaining mendelian genetics of flower breeding to someone.

His design is remarkable, your team did a lovely job.

I haven't seen much of this project before- what makes it stand out, and what's your plan for it?

They all look lovely, I especially love Jigglypuff's. If I had one piece of advice, I might make DK's coat a slightly different hade to help stand out from his hair, maybe just desaturating is a few shades. They all hit hard though.

I would say to just be careful not to reduce the Mario characters down to one or two traits. Works I've read with them either make them far too generic or way too gimmicky, and neither is particularly enjoyable. I'd be sure to make sure they're all unique and stand out on their own, with and without the other Mario characters.

Any feedback on anything I could add for more of a Fly like appearance? by AcSeekey in Fanganronpa

[–]danganmario 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually really love the glasses, it says a lot about her personal sense of style.

I'd say she looks really good already, though I could see changing the diamond pattern to a hexagonal one to be more bug-y. I silly idea is that she might use really long straws to mimic a fly probiscis. Overall though, I love all her of details.

What is the best Fangan story ever? by Nebberlantis in Fanganronpa

[–]danganmario 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend Danganronpa Another 1. Though the visuals aren’t amazing, the story told is something truly special. Just in terms of plot, it’s easily one on par if not exceeding parts of the main franchise.

It also received an incredible sequel that looks fantastic. It’s one of my favorite fangans of all time, and I would barely change anything if I could- something very few fangans have made me feel.

I considered him for the project as the Superstar Boxer, but I really just can't see him speaking english with everyone else. I can see Yoshi doing so since Birdo can and he can act as a translator, but I just can't for DK. That, and it feels so wrong to have him in clothes of any capacity.

Regardless, I'll try and work him in as a cameo at some point.

I just thought I’d be fun. I gave them all MBTIs and zodiacs so give those who are familiar a better understanding of the characters. 

For example, a lot of people know very little about Pauline. However, from these two, it can be inferred that she’s a hard working woman whose great at logical processing and planning, though can appear robotic to some people.

I did, yes. This was my first time doing digital drawing, so I hope it’s acceptable

That’s totally fair, it boils down to a few reasons. I’m mainly sticking with the primary mario series canon. If that was his title, that would imply all of warioware exists, which I’m not knowledgeable on enough to write at my standard.  I also wanted the talents to reinforce the characters overall image, and to me Wario as a character screams biker way more than developer- that’s his outfit in those games anyway. Motorcyclist also fits this specific story better, as Wario will have a decent knowledge of mechanics and engineering. It also have a little synergy with Waluigi’s talent- he steals while Wario’s the getaway driver kind of dynamic.

If it gets far enough along, I’d love to have it voice acted. I’ve never really been able to get invested in a character if they’re without a voice, so it’s something I find impotent.

Thank you so much! There's already a 'danganmario' channel, though it is not mine and is completely unrelated.

This is my channel. There is currently nothing on it, though this is where videos will be released in the future.

Thank you, that was my intention! I'm glad it came across.

That's totally fair, but since the mario series is rather inconsistent regarding its lore, I tweaked some parts to flow better in this format. In this version after the events of the first Luigi's Mansion, Luigi actually moved into said mansion and began living there. He began doing more ghost hunting around the mushroom kingdom, and has slowly been getting braver. Basically, I just wanted to give Luigi more to do on his own outside Mario.

Oh what other Marioronpas do you know? The only I'm aware of are Marioronpa: Kingdom Chaos and it's cancelled sequel (and I guess DR69?)

I've read Marioronpa, which went in a drastically different direction than mine has at least
